Overall Experience

My husband has been poorly since the beginning of 2021, so his ongoing care has been more of a challenge to me. Without the kindness and support of his carer our lives would have been greatly impaired. I cannot speak highly enough for the caring support that has been provided by his regular carer. She has allowed me a little respite through this difficult time. I am extremely grateful for her daily visits which gives me comfort that my husband is continuing to receive great care. Thank you!

Review from Suzanne J (Client / Service User) published on 9 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have found my experience of the agency very good indeed over the past 11 months. The three days per week which I need her help for she keeps my house clean and tidy, she helps me have a shower and gets me dressed, we go shopping once in the week. She will help out when I get into difficulties on the computer. We have discussions and laughs about things. I especially like the fact that if my regular caregiver is away the agency will send someone else. Also, I am very pleased that my caregiver just kept working through the Covid crisis.

Overall Experience

We have had an excellent experience with Home Instead caring for my mum. The service they provide is first class. Mum has a principal carer who looks after her so well and has become an important part of her life. The other carers, who look after her on the staff members days off, are all very good too. Mum trusts them to provide the personal care she needs. And they are exceptional in being prepared to cook her meals from scratch. They always arrive on time and are a key part of her daily routine.

Thank you it is so rewarding to hear how happy you are with the care mum is receiving. I will pass your lovely comments on to mum's CAREGivers.

Overall Experience
We have been with this company for approx 2 years and have found them very reliable. I like that mum has the same core of 2 carers that come each time and she gets to know them and enjoys chatting to them.
Any potential new carer is always introduced to her alongside her known carer before they come. The ladies treat mum with total respect and brighten up her day. They do basic personal care and light housework.
I am very happy to leave mum knowing they are coming in. The office staff are very helpful if any changes need to be made and are supportive of family.

The new app is working very well and I can access it when I am away from home to check mum is ok. I would and have recommended them to anyone needing a carer to allow their family member to carry on living independently.

Overall Experience
My mother is a very proud lady and at 90 has accepted she needs help with her shower routine twice a week. Her carer has been extremely sensitive to her privacy and is very helpful and kind. The company itself has been very helpful and flexible when we have had to cancel four hospital appointments.

We are very satisfied.

Overall Experience

The service provided is excellent, of a high professional and caring standard. The carer is extremely helpful, thoughtfully and caring, she goes beyond expectations. Provides me with confidence that my parents are receiving care from a carer who has their best interests at heart. She has built up a very good relationship with my mother, who is the client and had Alzheimer's, and my father, who really likes and appreciates her.

We have been using Homes Instead for a number of years for our Mum. All the carers are extremely good and take care of Mum. She is very happy with the girls and the fact that they are consistent, shows us that the care for Mum is very good. The girls are very reliable, and every time there is a problem with Mum, we are kept up to date.

We would recommend them highly.

My mother has been having care sessions provided for 3 years now.

She has Alzheimer's and is profoundly deaf. It is a testament to the care provided that she is still living in her own property safe and happy.

Overall Experience

The Home Instead carers have been looking after my parents for the last few years. I don't know what we would have done without them. My parents have always been independent, but the carers have been brilliant. They are patient and kind and will help with anything they can. They will contact us if they have any concerns. They have shown great kindness towards both my parents and genuinely care for them. I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead, they go beyond the call of duty.

Home Instead Senior Care has supplied care for my father since January 2018, the care they supply is of a very high standard they are totally reliable. My father has Alzheimer's and the caregivers my father has are well trained with Alzheimer's so can meet the challenge this disease can create in a very supportive way. They also keep me informed and up to date not only are the caregivers outstanding the office staff also go out of their way to support me and my father. I call them my angels as they have made my life easier during a very difficult time. I would fully recommend them to anyone who is looking for care for their

I have used this service before for my wife and they were first class. Now I have to use the service myself and I can only give a first-class recommendation. The carers are all well trained, very willing to help and ensure all safety precautions. They are all very cheerful and courteous. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Jenny Knight

My name is Jenny I am the Registered Care Manager for Home Instead Basildon.

I have worked within the care industry for many years. And have been with Home Instead since 2015. Starting as a care professional. I was then promoted to Trainer/Field supervisor. In 2023 I completed my registration with CQC.

I am completing my level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care.

I went into care after caring for my grandfather. It was then that I realised the importance of providing care and support to enable people to stay in their own homes.

I truly believe in the ethos of Home Instead to 'Change the Face of Ageing' providing a truly individualised and holistic approach to allowing people to stay in their own homes where they feel happy and safe.
